This course is for the students who want to take the licence for the social studies teacher in japan, and who want to study historography in Europe.
There was a historian who said that "history without controversy is dead history".
What we now regard as history did not exist as a matter of course from the very beginning.
That is why I would like to reflect on the process by which history as a 'study' has been shaped.
However, it is impossible to mention everything in 15 lectures.
Therefore, I consider our primary goal to be a better understanding of the foundations of European civilization.
There is also a secondary aim of learning the methodology of historical research.
(in fact, this is the most suitable to the setting purpose of this subject).
It is preferable to have already studied World History, but the student who wants to learn for himself will welcome you.
But the student who hates to read a book, the student who does not care to think and check, the student who only expects the credit earning and the student who has no "guts" above all, refrain from this course.
